Can you use XML parts and Content Controls to update document A and B?

Hello all,

I've been playing around with XML parts and Content Controls which has saved me lots of work in a single document. Now I want to branch out and update multiple documents at the same time in a folder structure.

Hopefully this diagram explains what I mean.

Code:

Main Folder
- Folder 1
-- Document A
-- Document B
-- Document C
-- Folder 1A
---Document D
- Folder 2
-- Document A
-- Document B
-- Folder 2A
--- Document C
--- Folder 2A1
---- Document D

The Main Folder remains unchanged.
Each Folder 1,2* is a separate folder.
When updating Document A's content control, these changes are to be updated in all documents where applicable in it's separate Folder.
For example, updating Document A in Folder 1, would update Document B, C and D in Folder 1A.

Is this something that can be accomplished?
